Does anyone have a recommendation for a good paint to redo the dash buttons? Mine lost their colour in the dark ages, and the replacement ones I have also don't have any lettering visible.
Black is fastest!

For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

the lettering is etched into the rubber.
Maybe someone painted his letters white to punk him. lol

How about using some of that "Back to Black" stuff for automotive plastics and bumpers etc. Works a treat on Falco mirrors and things.

Erm wipe it thoughtfully
Would be in the style of Rodin's 'Thinker'...?

I've got a spare set of buttons from a busted dash that you can have, but I doubt they are any diffrent to the set you've already got , they're not painted, just embossed rubber as they all are.
